A Florida man landed himself in jail after he secretly put eyedrops in his nephew’s meatball sandwich, according to police.
James Paul Leach, 45, is facing a charge of poisoning of food or water. A probable cause arrest affidavit reviewed by Law&Crime says Leach was at a business Wednesday when he asked to buy Visine eyedrops for dry eyes. Leach and his nephew live together, and he told the employee that he “hated him,” authorities said. The employee said he saw Leach open the eyedrop container and pour it all over the meatballs in a sandwich, the affidavit said.
